glibc: buffer overflow in ld.so leading to privilege escalation

A buffer overflow was discovered in the GNU C Library's dynamic loader ld.so while processing the GLIBCTUNABLES environment variable. This issue could allow a local attacker to use maliciously crafted GLIBCTUNABLES environment variables when launching binaries with SUID permission to execute code...

glibc: Stack read overflow in getaddrinfo in no-aaaa mode

A flaw was found in glibc. When the getaddrinfo function is called with the AFUNSPEC address family and the system is configured with no-aaaa mode via /etc/resolv.conf, a DNS response via TCP larger than 2048 bytes can potentially disclose stack contents through the function returned address data...

glibc: potential use-after-free in getaddrinfo()

A flaw has been identified in glibc. In an extremely rare situation, the getaddrinfo function may access memory that has been freed, resulting in an application crash. This issue is only exploitable when a NSS module implements only the nssgethostbyname2r and nssgetcanonnamer hooks without...
